The extensions 19 are preferably formed with equal widths and are located (lireetly opposite each other. so that the wall has the uplhfiltlllt'tf of having columns between the panels. The space 20 is tilled with grout or wet, oouerele, which sets integrally with the extensions l9 and, also, the ends of slabs 1o. When the slabs lS are placed one on top of another, in order to form a panel of the wall, the extensions 19 at, one side ol the panel register in vertical alineinent, as do the ext-onelons 19 at the other side of the panel The slabs 9 are placed one on top ol another between [he extensions 19 on one side of the wall, no that the flanges 3 on said slabs 2 [it against the lanes oi slabs 18, wheat-by the air-space 6 Vitll these objects in view, this invention is left between said slabs 2 and 18.

This invention. relates to concrete build ing'etl'uetlurel-ii and has particular relerenru to a eonstrnetion in which concrete dubs and eolnnins are united to form a wall having adapted for cold storage plants, residences, and the like.

in the construction of etmorete buildings, it is essential that secure and durable jnartitres be made between the columns and the wall slabs oil" the strueture.

ll; is an object of this invention to provide a strneture of concrete building elements, which cooperate and are interengaged to form a rigid, secure and lasting; combination of elements.

It is, also, an object to tin-(wide a Conerele braiding: structure in which the general eonstruetirui ot the cooperating uprights and nail slain; is generally improved.
